wow, I totally do blacksmith!!
I have a gas forge, a coal forge, a charcoal forge, and soon to come... a waste veggie oil furnace capable of melting and casting steel
I hope to use it to create a new alloy.. but that is more metalurgy..
I'm more into bladesmithing in the euro and japanese style.. and usually in a hybrid form of the two.. Like the temperline characteristic of katana's on a primitive Viking Seax form. cool stuff
